Raymia 565 Posted November 27, 2016 So I have all my appointments set! What Next? I went to the seminar November 13th I met the surgeon November 17th Got my blood work done November 17th UGI and Psychological November 28th 1 class on December 5th 1 class December 8th and Nutrition December 8th finale class December 13th and I'm waiting to schedule EGD.... This is all my insurance required so I'm guessing after this my doctor can submit everything for approval? What was your requirements? how long was your process? BTW I have NJ BCBS PPO , My Surgeon is Dr. Jooyeun Chung. I'm just trying to time this out so I can have the surgery in January.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
